Vintage Maitland Smith Brass Ink Well Desk Set

Dimensions: 19.5” long x 8” deep x 7.5” tall

This Maitland-Smith brass inkwell desk set is both functional and decorative, designed with two lidded compartments for ink storage and a central dish that likely served as a receptacle for melted wax or sealing tools, essential for traditional correspondence. The detailed brass construction is sturdy and ornate, making it a striking addition to any desk or display. The removable components allow for easy maintenance, and while the inkwells are perfect for their original use, the set can also serve as a unique organizer for modern desk items. The brass patina adds to its vintage charm but can be polished for a brighter finish, depending on your preference. Ideal for collectors, enthusiasts of antique deskware, or as a sophisticated statement piece.
